Comment:

 What about replacing:


 {{{
 // Merge old and new fields with new fields overwriting old ones.
     $commentarr = array_merge($comment, $commentarr);
 }}}

 with:

 {{{
     /**
      * Filter the comment before it is updated in the database.
      * By Default, merge the old and new fields with new overwriting old.
      *
      * @since x.x.x
      *
      * @param string $comment The old comment data
      * @param string $commentarr The new comment data
      */
     $commentarr = apply_filter( 'pre_edit_comment', array_merge($comment,
 $commentarr), $comment, $commentarr);
 }}}

 That would basically allow the new comment array to be edited.
